This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I want a moment without an end [x4]
I wanna spend some time with my, with my best friends
I want a moment without an end [x4]
I wanna spend some time with my, with my best friends
And with all the time we had
And with all the good and bad
Everynight, my eyes closed mad
I'd turn around and I'd do it again
And with all the drunken nights
And with all the stupid fights
Both saying we were right
I'd turn around and do it again
Sometimes I feel that days are just hours for me
Sometimes I feel there is no one left that I would wanna be
Sometimes I feel too many people live so they can say they've won
Sometimes I look up at the starlit city sky and know it's done
With all the drunken nights of pride
Fliped conversations we'd collide
But we always seemed to try
I'd turn around and I'd do it again
Can you believe what we've begun?
Everyone we could outrun
I can't believe those days are done
I just wanna do it all again
I want a moment without an end [x4]
I wanna spend some time with my, with my best friends
Sometimes I feel that life is only there for me
Sometimes I feel that life is just a game to beat
Sometimes I feel that life is something I can't see
Sometimes I feel that life was not made for me
How did it start?
I choose to run without a mark
How did it start?
Too many actors with the same part
How did it start?
I grab onto something sharp
How did it start? How did it start?
How did it start?
I choose to run without a mark
How did it start?
Too many actors with the same part
How did it start?
I grab onto something sharp
How did it start? How did it start?
And if I don't make it
And if I don't make it
And if I don't make it...
Tell everyone I've had my fun
And if I don't make it
And if I don't make it
And if I don't make it...
Tell everyone I've had my fun
I wanna spend some time with my, with my best friends
I want a moment without an end [x4]
I wanna spend some time with my, with my best friends
And with all the time we had
And with all the good and bad
Everynight, my eyes closed mad
I'd turn around and I'd do it again
And with all the drunken nights
And with all the stupid fights
Both saying we were right
I'd turn around and do it again
Sometimes I feel that days are just hours for me
Sometimes I feel there is no one left that I would wanna be
Sometimes I feel too many people live so they can say they've won
Sometimes I look up at the starlit city sky and know it's done
With all the drunken nights of pride
Fliped conversations we'd collide
But we always seemed to try
I'd turn around and I'd do it again
Can you believe what we've begun?
Everyone we could outrun
I can't believe those days are done
I just wanna do it all again
I want a moment without an end [x4]
I wanna spend some time with my, with my best friends
Sometimes I feel that life is only there for me
Sometimes I feel that life is just a game to beat
Sometimes I feel that life is something I can't see
Sometimes I feel that life was not made for me
How did it start?
I choose to run without a mark
How did it start?
Too many actors with the same part
How did it start?
I grab onto something sharp
How did it start? How did it start?
How did it start?
I choose to run without a mark
How did it start?
Too many actors with the same part
How did it start?
I grab onto something sharp
How did it start? How did it start?
And if I don't make it
And if I don't make it
And if I don't make it...
Tell everyone I've had my fun
And if I don't make it
And if I don't make it
And if I don't make it...
Tell everyone I've had my fun

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I really really wanna graduate to this song. It just reminds me of looking back at something special and realizing that you don't really want it to end.
